Who knew? More than 6 in 10 U.S. drivers rely on prescription eyewear behind the wheel, according to a new AAA survey.
Daylight Saving Time, ending November 3, is the perfect time to remind everyone of the importance of vision correction for safe driving. According to the survey, a significant majority of U.S. adults rely on prescription lenses for purposes beyond reading, with 62% wearing eyeglasses, sunglasses, or contact lenses.
While the vast majority (80%) of drivers who wear prescription lenses report wearing them all the time when driving, 16% only wear them under certain circumstances, and 3% never do so. However, most (94%) of those required to wear corrective lenses on their driver’s license always wear them when driving.
